8-Way NVIDIA Nouveau GPU Comparison

Phoronix: 8-Way NVIDIA Nouveau GPU Comparison

After earlier this week delivering a 12-way AMD Radeon graphics card comparison with the open-source Linux Gallium3D graphics driver, being published today is a similar comparison on the NVIDIA side. Tested for this article were eight NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards from multiple hardware generations while using the very latest open-source Nouveau driver code.

Great performance with the 9800GTX

Wow - looks like 9800GTX is the way to go right now. I know what's on my wish list.

Or a 2xx card with a descent bios.
My card (a 3dClub 285GTX) is set in bios to boot at top speed, probably hoping that the driver will take over and clock it down later. It pulls loads of power (even when idle), but at least I got a pretty good speed out of it.
